Hamas: Muslim Brotherhood

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the links between Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in the context of national security policy.

Answer

Although The Home Office does not comment on specific groups or individual cases, I would like to reassure The Rt Hon gentleman that we are committed to continually building our understanding of the extremist threat and monitor groups that pose a threat to national security.

Where the actions of individuals or groups cross a legal threshold, we will act to prevent harm and to safeguard susceptible individuals.

As set out in the recent ‘Protecting What Matters’ publication, the Home Office is increasing resource to counter extremism and prevent groups and individuals from sharing their harmful rhetoric.
